"We can't trust anyone now." Netflix has debuted an official trailer for a horror thriller titled The Silence, from filmmaker John R. Leonetti (Annabelle). Although the description for this sounds a lot like A Quiet Place, the novel it's based on was actually written years before that movie was made. The Silence tells the story of a family struggling to survive in a world terrorized by a deadly, primeval species of bat, hunting only with their acute hearing. As the family seeks refuge in a remote haven where they can wait out the invasion, they start to wonder what kind of world will remain when they're ready to emerge. Starring Stanley Tucci, Kiernan Shipka, Miranda Otto, John Corbett, Kate Trotter, and Kyle Breitkopf. This looks way more intense and horrifying than A Quiet Place, with a much scarier apocalyptic feel. Those darn crazy bats.
Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for John R. Leonetti's The Silence, direct from IGN's YouTube:
When the world is under attack from terrifying creatures (a lethal bat called Vesps) who hunt their human prey by sound, 16-year old Ally Andrews (Kiernan Shipka), who lost her hearing a few years before, and her family seek refuge in a remote haven. But they discover a sinister cult who are eager to exploit Ally's heightened senses. The Silence is directed by filmmaker & cinematographer John R. Leonetti, director of the films Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, The Butterfly Effect 2, Annabelle, Wolves at the Door, and Wish Upon previously. The screenplay is by Carey Van Dyke & Shane Van Dyke, adapted from Tim Lebbon's novel of the same name. Netflix will premiere Leonetti's The Silence streaming exclusively starting on April 10th.

yea, when they showed the "creatures" lined up on the power lines, i definitely thought of "the birds".

Netflix goes Hitchcock with the iq of the walking dead. Beer, comrades and nothing better to do? I`d watch it, but probably watch my phone for sms from mom more.

NICE. I love both the lead actors so I AM IN. On its face though it seems dumb.

you took the words out of my mouth - i'm a huge tucci fan and i can't believe he'd be in something bad - but this does seem kind of "dumb".

Definitely looks better then A Quiet Place. But, after putting behind weak Hitchcockian motives, what's with the silence in these films? Come on, that's not fun. Be brave, be loud ...

Another example of Netflux. I'd watch this in a theater...if only just to make people be quiet.....(see what I did there) 😀

Hey Dan! Yes, I did see the trailer. Looks very good, and very scary. I didn't post it on the site because it's technically a mini-series, and not a TV movie, so it just barely doesn't count as a movie (and we don't post anything TV unfortunately). But it does look good, thanks for sharing.

yea, i get that "technically" it's not a movie. i just brought it up because the trailer was scary and that's hard to pull off. everything about this looks excellent.

This is just to get rising star Kiernan Shipka more screen time.

Wasn't there already another movie about killer bats about 19 or so years ago?
